MadEvolve optimizes trading algorithms using LLMs, achieving significant improvements in feature generation and trading strategy optimization.

problem Optimizing trading algorithms for better performance and feature generation.
method A framework inspired by Alpha-Evolve, using LLMs to evolve trading strategies and feature pipelines.
result Significant improvements in trading performance across various tasks, including feature generation and trading strategy optimization.

We present the expected values from p-value hacking as a choice of the minimum p-value among mm independents tests, which can be considerably lower than the "true" p-value, even with a single trial, owing to the extreme skewness of the meta-distribution. We first present an exact probability distribution (meta-distrib…

Paper proposes a sequential statistical test for comparing imitation learning policies with near-optimal stopping.

problem Challenges in rigorously comparing imitation learning policies due to small sample sizes and potential p-hacking.
method Sequential statistical test that adapts the number of trials based on intermediate results, achieving near-optimal stopping.
result Reduces the number of evaluation trials by up to 32% compared to state-of-the-art baselines, saving significant time and effort.
